How hard do you want us to blink over the Browns' salary cap? A year is also a long time in sports. I wouldn't be in love with that contract if I was a Browns fan. At the same time... What the hell else are we gonna do with the money we have laying around?

Why not? The salary cap isn't stagnant, in fact it's projected to keep rising 9-11% each year going forward. Three years from now $40M/per for Garrett will look like a good deal, just the same as the $35M neighborhood will for a top 5 at his position guy like Hendrickson.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

Yep, and Watt is a couple months older than Trey. You think Pitt isn't going to sign him to big money and multiple years?

Good point. Like I said, I am for a couple years of 35+, just not a 4 year deal of 35+.
Need outs in the 3rd and 4th years as he most likely falls off.

I found the clip of Louis Riddick online and he was quite passionate, as you stated. But the only clip I found of Adam Schefter was rather measured. I think I'd be surprised if Schefter went scorched earth, given how he values his access to insider information and wouldn't want to jeopardize that.

I’m so tired of this franchise.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Was the clip on this mornings Get Up? Then it’s probably it. I thought he was highly critical. Scorched earth may have been embellished. But in reference to Adam being measured he usually is and I’ve seen enough of him that I was taken aback

I’ll give signing Trey a 1-10 chance.
